Subject: Re: [MOPO] Bad news ebay buyer alert
i ended an auction early 2 weeks ago because the bidder was from
europe with small feedback. i forget to set the item as NO OUTSIDE
USA delivery. the item was a 9.99 auction book----very, very, very
thick/heavy. bidder was likely to be the only bid. so why risk
spending 25/30 postage in a no-win situation. there is no delivery
confirm at that rate., so if the buyer is not honorable, i lose the
book, plus the postage. the upside would have been a net on 8.00.
hence----stupid on my part.
i have never been burnt with buyers outside the USA, but the
potential is there.

The way it works now. YOU were supposed to wrap the parcel and get

the mail within 5 seconds of his money hitting your PP account.
I guess the safer way is to acknowledge the payment and tell the
buyer when
you are going to ship.
